INTRODUCTION | SEASON PREVIEW

WHAT TO EXPECT IN 2012... at Belmont in a long, long time," Kuhlmeyer said. "We've got teams from the SEC, the Big 12, the Big Ten and some very good mid-major teams. We will have quite the task ahead of us this spring. I think the girls are excited about the schedule and excited about the opportunity to play good competition."

Trips to Texas, Mississippi, and Chattanooga, as well as road swings through Florida in conference play, highlight a challenging schedule for the Belmont University softball team in 2012. The Bruins will face 2011 Women's College World Series participant Baylor and NCAA Regional participant Chattanooga, as well as teams from the Big Ten and SEC in the early portions of the nonconference schedule. Meetings with tough midmajor opponents and rematches with 2011 foes also highlight the 2012 slate. Belmont will welcome 10 opponents to Rose Park for the first full season in the Bruins' new venue.

The first tournament on the schedule will provide a homecoming of sorts for Kuhlmeyer, who coached at Baylor early in his career. The Bruins travel to Waco, Texas, to open the season with the Getterman Classic. In addition to playing against Baylor, the Bruins will also face another former Kuhlmeyer team in Wichita State. Belmont will travel to Oxford, Miss., for the Ole Miss Tournament and will also face the Rebels in the Southern Miss Tournament. All told, the Bruins are schedule to face Ole Miss at least three times during the non-conference schedule. Belmont will truly be road warriors in the nonconference season, as the Bruins go on the road for the first four weekends of the season - at Baylor (Baylor, Wichita State, Iowa, UT-Arlington, Arkansas), at Southern Miss (Southern Miss, Murray State, Ole Miss), at Chattanooga (Troy, Ball State, Tennessee Tech, Dayton, Valparaiso),

Belmont will face Baylor out of the Big 12, Iowa, Purdue and Ohio State from the Big Ten and Ole Miss and Arkansas out of the SEC. The Bruins will also face mid-major opponents Wichita State out of the Missouri Valley, as well as Dayton, Ball State, and Valparaiso, among others. Five Ohio Valley opponents also appear on the schedule for 2012. Head Coach Chris Kuhlmeyer admits that the 2012 schedule might appear a little daunting at first glance, but hopes that playing tough competition will help his team achieve its ultimate goal of winning an Atlantic Sun championship. "This is probably the toughest schedule we've had BELMONT UNIVERSITY

2011 opponents UT-Martin, Marshall, Southeast Missouri State, Western Kentucky, Tennessee State and Tennessee Tech also appear on the 2012 schedule.

time in the Atlantic Sun Conference by hosting ETSU and USC Upstate. The Bruins will look to make their first conference tournament in school history, held again in 2011 in Spartanburg, S.C. "I feel like this is the most talented team I've had since I've been at Belmont," Kuhlmeyer said. "And I think we have all the pieces in place not just to make the conference tournament, but to make a run in conference play and be in position to win a championship."

The Bruins will host five conference opponents at Rose Park this season after opening the conference slate on the road in Jacksonville for games against Jacksonville and North Florida. The Bruins then return home for the heart of the conference schedule with games against Stetson and Florida Gulf Coast, as well as a meeting with rival Lipscomb.

Chris Kuhlmeyer begins his third season as the Head Softball Coach at Belmont. Kuhlmeyer was named the head coach of Belmont Softball on July 10, 2009. Seasoned with experience from several of the nation's top programs and academic institutions, Kuhlmeyer ushered in a new era for the program. Kuhlmeyer spent the past three seasons as the top assistant coach at Wichita State University. Over that stretch, the Shockers won 91 games - including four against nationally-ranked opponents (Illinois State, Southern Illinois, Texas, Washington) - in the highly-competitive Missouri Valley Conference. Last season, the MVC sported four teams in the Top 80 of the final NCAA Softball Ratings Percentage Index (RPI). Kuhlmeyer made a profound impact in recruiting and player development at Wichita State. For instance in 2007, Kuhlmeyer helped transform then freshman infielder Kara L'Huillier into one of the top fielding catchers in the Missouri Valley and the NCAA. L'Huillier, who had no previous experience behind the plate, made only one error in conference play and threw out 10 runners attempting to steal base. "We are excited to have Chris join our staff," Strickland said. "We feel his background and experience give him all the tools he needs to be a success at Belmont. We are confident he will take our softball program to new heights." Prior to joining the staff at Wichita State, Kuhlmeyer spent four seasons as an assistant coach at Samford University. While in Birmingham, Kuhlmeyer served as the recruiting coordinator, first base coach and primary hitting and catching instructor for the Bulldogs. During his stead, Samford registered its most successful stretch in school history, winning 27 or more games in three of his four campaigns. The Bulldogs were among the NCAA leaders in stolen bases per game in 2006. Previously, Kuhlmeyer served two seasons as

a volunteer assistant coach at Baylor University. At Baylor, he shaped his coaching instruction of catchers and infielders, as well as overseeing the program's booster club and field maintenance. The Anacoco, La. native also spent the summer of 2000 as head coach of the Louisiana Lady Hawks of the Amateur Softball Association (ASA) 16-and-under league. He led the Lady Hawks to three tournament titles and top three finishes at both ASA and National Softball Association (NSA) state tournaments. Kuhlmeyer began his coaching career at his alma mater, Louisiana State University. He spent the 2000 season as a volunteer assistant coach for the Bayou Bengals and three seasons as a student manager while earning his bachelor's degree in education with a concentration in sport studies. Kuhlmeyer is a member of the National Fastpitch Coaches Association and has served on the association's Internet Committee. He is married to the former Shelley Dykes of Baton Rouge, La. The couple has one daughter, Addison, and a son, Jared.

ABOUT US

ABOUT US | THIS IS BELMONT

“FROM HERE TO ANYWHERE...”

In the mid-1800s, Belmont University’s campus was known as Adelicia Acklen’s Belle Monte estate. The antebellum mansion remains today, flanked by university buildings separated in age by more than a century. The first educational institution on the estate was the original Belmont College (1890-1913), offering elementary school through junior college education to young ladies. The school merged with Ward Seminary to become the prestigious Ward-Belmont School for Women (1913-1951) and in 1951, became the coed Belmont College. In 1991, the college became Belmont University, and this year, began the 121st year of higher education on this site. Belmont continually reflects its rich heritage as it excels in academics. For 2011, U.S. News & World Report placed Belmont University at No. 5 in the Best Regional Universities—South category. Perhaps even more notable than the recent top five ranking, Belmont has stood out for three consecutive years as one of U.S. News & World Report’s most cited “Schools to Watch” in the nation.

Belmont’s boundaries continue to extend beyond the Nashville campus through its Cool Springs campus south of Nashville and organized programs such as the Washington Center program and music business’ Belmont West in Los Angeles and Belmont East in New York City. Study-abroad programs place students in China, Costa Rica, Great Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Russia, South Africa and Spain. Belmont also serves as a regional site of the East-West Center for the Development of Asian Studies.

BELMONT UNIVERSITY

Among its student body of more than 5,900, are students from every state and more than 29 countries. In addition to seven baccalaureate degrees in over 75 areas of study, Belmont offers master’s degrees in Business Administration, Accountancy, English, Education, Sport Administration, Music, Nursing and Occupational Therapy, as well as doctorates in Pharmacy, Occupational Therapy and Physical Therapy. Under the leadership of President Robert Fisher, Belmont celebrates more than a century of an accomplished academic heritage and commitment to educational innovation. Notably, Belmont has earned the Atlantic Sun Academic Champion Trophy seven of the last nine years. Moreover, Belmont has recently opened several impressive new facilities on campus, including McWhorter Hall and two new freshmen residences—Patton Hall and Bear House. Still, one of Belmont’s biggest achievements came in 2008 with the hosting of the Town Hall Presidential Debate, the first presidential debate to be held in Tennessee. On the one-year anniversary of the debate, the university announced that it will open a College of Law with students starting classes in fall 2011. This past October, the university broke ground on the Randall and Sadie Baskin Center which will house the College of Law when it opens in 2012. Belmont’s remarkable growth and achievement certainly give credence to its theme, From Here to Anywhere!

Enrollment is up 69 percent since Fall 2000. The overwhelming progress is â&#x20AC;&#x153;the latest validation that Belmont University has the right vision for its future," said Dr. Robert Fisher, president of the university. "Belmont University is on a roll. The abilities of our incoming freshmen and our rapidly rising enrollment show we are on the right track."

BELMONT MISSION STATEMENT Belmont University is a studentcentered Christian community providing an academically challenging education that empowers men and women of diverse backgrounds to engage and transform the world with disciplined intelligence, compassion, courage and faith.

Dr. Robert (Bob) Fisher serves as President of Belmont University, a position he has held since April 2000. During his tenure the University's enrollment has risen by 81 percent while the campus itself has expanded significantly with the additions of the Curb Event Center and Beaman Student Life Center, the Gordon E. Inman Center, the Troutt Theater complex, McWhorter Hall and several new residence halls and parking garages. Under his leadership Belmont University also broke into the Top 5 for the first time in the Best Regional Universities South category in U.S. News & World Report's analysis of America's Best Colleges. Soaring to No. 5 in the 2011 edition, Belmont was also honored for the third year in a row as one of the top schools nationwide for "leading the pack in improvements and innovative changes." Academically, the university has added numerous new interdisciplinary programs in the past decade, including Social Entrepreneurship, New Century Journalism, Pharmacy and, most recently, the Belmont College of Law which will welcome its first class in 2012. In addition, Fisher worked to secure Belmont as the host site for the 2008 Town Hall Presidential Debate, a historic event broadcast worldwide that also led to Fisher's selection as 2008 Tennessean of the Year and 2010 Nashvillian of the Year. But Dr. Fisher's greatest sense of accomplishment comes not from new campus structures, stronger endowments or an ever-increasing student population. Rather, he measures achievement through witnessing education's impact on each individual student. "The student is the focus of all our efforts here at Belmont," Fisher said, "and our top priority is meeting the needs of those students. My life's mission is to help create experiences that transform people, especially students, in ways that enable them to become all they were created to be." Prior to his appointment at Belmont, Fisher was vice president for academic affairs at Arkansas State University for four years and was dean of the School of Business at Henderson State University, his alma mater, for 10 years. Fisher earned a B.S.B.A. from Henderson State, an M.B.A. from the University of Memphis and a Ph.D. from the University of Arkansas. In addition to his success as both faculty member and higher education administrator, Fisher is also an accomplished author with his most recent work, Life Is a Gift: Inspiration from the Soon Departed, released in 2008. Co-authored with his wife Judy, Life Is a Gift features a collection of lessons learned from interviews with 104 terminally ill patients of Alive Hospice in Nashville. Dr. Fisher previously coauthored Real Dream Teams: Seven Practices Used by World-Class Team Leaders to Achieve Extraordinary Results, published by St. Lucie Press, with Belmont's Vice President of University Advancement Dr. Bo Thomas. Expressing knowledge gained from his business degrees and management positions, Dr. Fisher has published numerous articles on management and leadership and has consulted with a wide variety of organizations on human resource and strategic planning issues, including Kimberly-Clark Corporation, Alltel, Arkla Gas and the U.S. Department of Transportation, among others. In 1992, Fisher served in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, as a Fulbright Scholar, conducting research and consulting with the National Institute of Public Administration. He also provided a keynote address at the Arabian Society for Human Resource Management Conference in Bahrain in 1998. Active in his community, Fisher has served in numerous volunteer roles with such organizations as Alignment Nashville, the Nashville Alliance for Public Education and the PENCIL Foundation, all of which support Nashville's public schools. He also is a past chair of the Greater Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce. He is an active member of the Rotary Club of Nashville, participates in Nashville's Agenda and is a 2001 graduate of Leadership Nashville. He also serves as a member of the Board of Directors for the Southern Financial Partners, a division of Southern Bancorp, Inc., and is a director for Fifth Third Bank, Tennessee Division. In addition, he is or has been a member of the Board of Directors for the United Way of Metropolitan Nashville, the Country Music Hall of Fame, the Boy Scouts of Middle Tennessee, the Nashville Symphony, the YMCA of Middle Tennessee, Music City Coalition, TICUA, Cumberland Region Tomorrow and the NCAA Division I Board of Directors and Executive Committee. Married for 40 years, Dr. Fisher and his wife Judy share in their commitment to Belmont University, where Mrs. Fisher provides support through her role as campus-wide coordinator of interior construction and exterior landscaping/lighting. The Fishers are the proud parents of three grown children and have two wonderful sons-in-law, one wonderful daughter-in-law and six perfect grandsons.

Now entering his 15th year as Director of Athletics, Mike Strickland has led Belmont's Department of Athletics through its infancy stages as a new NCAA Division I program to become one that sees annual success on the field and in the classroom. During his tenure at Belmont, the program has expanded the number of teams it fields, joined the Atlantic Sun Conference, enhanced its facilities, and established a reputation producing winning teams and distinguished studentathletes. Since arriving in Nashville in 1996, Strickland has overseen the inception of six new sports at Belmont: women's soccer, women's golf and men's and women's indoor and outdoor track and field. In addition, the University has built the Frances Bond Davis Tennis Courts and the Whitten Soccer Complex, as well the most recent partnership with Metro Parks for athletic fields at Rose Park. This exciting new venture will house Belmont baseball, softball, soccer, and track & field and will open in the spring of 2011. Two of the most important achievements of his tenure at Belmont are the acceptance of Belmont into the Atlantic Sun Conference and the opening of the Curb Event Center. During his tenure, Strickland has overseen a program expansion from 11 to 17 teams of competition, spearheaded membership into the Atlantic Sun Conference, spurred athletic facility enhancement and forged a reputation of producing winning teams and distinguished student-athletes. In 2008, Belmont became the first school in Atlantic Sun Conference history to represent the league in three consecutive NCAA Men's Basketball Championships. Adding conference championships in women's cross country, women's soccer and volleyball during the past academic year, Belmont Athletics has won a staggering 26 Atlantic Sun Conference Championships since becoming a member institution in 2001-02 - far and away the league standard. In addition, the school has hosted nine conference championships over the past five years, most recently the 2006 A-Sun Volleyball Championship. Strickland has taken a leadership role in the ASun serving as chairman of the tournament committee and presently serves as a member of the conference's membership committee. In addition to the program's success on the field, his tenure has seen the building of the exquisite Curb Event Center. The $52 million facility, which opened in the fall of 2003, has become the centerpiece of the athletics program. The complex houses a 5,000-seat arena for basketball and volleyball, locker rooms for all sports, a training facility and weight room, as well as administrative offices for the Athletic Department. Off the field, the athletic department has made academic achievement the cornerstone of its definition of success. Belmont has won the Atlantic Sun Academic Trophy seven of the past eight years. The Bruins boasted over two-thirds of their student athletes with a grade-point average of 3.0 or better on a 4.0 scale during the past academic year. Belmont is the only school to win the trophy five straight times (2002-2006). Also of significance, Belmont has earned distinction from the NCAA in each of their Academic Progress Rate (APR) reports. Strickland brings varied years of experience to the program, including nine years as athletics director at Murray State University prior to coming to Belmont. While at Murray State, Strickland served on numerous Ohio Valley Conference committees as well as serving on the NCAA I-AA football advisory committee and the NCAA rifle committee. Prior to serving at Murray State, Strickland was an Associate Athletics Director at Wichita State University from 1983-87, where he was responsible for all business operations for the department. Strickland earned his bachelor's degree in political science from Georgia Southern University and a master's degree in public administration from the University of Georgia. In June of 2009, Strickland received the Under Armour National Assocation of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) Division I Southeast Region A.D. of the Year Award. Strickland was honored at the annual NACDA convention in Orlando, Fla. Strickland is married to the former Martha Thomas, an English instructor at Nashville State Community College. The couple has two children: Leanna Elizabeth, an undergraduate student at the University of Tennessee, and Sara Grace, a Belmont University graduate who is married to Jared Vaughn. In 2008, Mike and Martha celebrated two milestone events: their 35th wedding anniversary and the arrival of their first grandson, Jacob. In his leisure time, Mike enjoys travel, history, and spending time with his family.
